Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    Verizon is seen by analysts as the most likely bidder if rural wireless provider Alltel Corp. AT.N seeks a sale, since both companies use the same CDMA network.

    Dennis Strigl, asked in a Bank of America conference about the complexities of a GSM carrier buying a CDMA carrier, said such a move was "doable" and had been done before.
